Ricky Burns will face Josh King for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on November 7, live on Sky Sports.

Burns held the WBO World crown at both Super Featherweight and Lightweight and after his rousing display in Texas against fellow former World king Omar Figueroa breathed new life into his career, ‘The Rickster’ can take a huge step on the road back to his old belt by beating the Australian.

I liked how he looked at 140, he carried it well. Figueroa's power never bothered him, barely kept him off. He got more respect from me for this fight, than the Beltran and Crawford fights. He looked weak then compared to how he bulled Figueroa at 140 and Burns was on the road. We now know that Beltran will go to extremes and Crawford is considered elite at 140, so 135 may be Burns' sweet spot.
